Verdis

Verdis is a bioengineered plant system that harnesses the natural ability of plants to detect air quality and transmit that information to digital networks. It acts as “a canary in the coal mine,” by signaling the presence of invisible indoor pollutants. And it cultivates a symbiotic relationship between plants and people. As we tend for them; they take care of us.

Muko

Inspired by simplicity, and borne out of elegance, Mukō is a consumer drone system that streamlines the interaction of flying a drone through a smart tablet interface. The form and style resemble buoyancy and lightness. The interface adopts a natural gestural language for intuitive feedback. Together, the pair allows nontechnical people to explore above, over, through, and beyond.
